discgoesmic Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Hey all, I've decided to book a parking space at Ashcombe Park, since it's close to the festival (I may need to come in and out for care giving reasons) and has 24hr security patrol. https://ashcombepark.com The website shows a pin drop to get there, which also has co-ordinates. Now normally this would be very easy, but I'm conscious that the festival will be re-routing traffic to minimise the chaos. Does anyone have any tips/tricks of best directions to go, what to say to festival crew (etc) to easily get there? Is it best to approach the car park from an alternate direction etc? Any advice would be massively appreciated. Thanks! (By the way, currently spaces are still available at £60 if anyone is looking for parking.)

Johnnyseven Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) It's not clear form your post how you are going to be getting there from the festival, by car or on foot? What car park/gate will you be exiting the festival from? Edited April 27, 2023 by Johnnyseven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulshane Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 head east from Glastonbury itself - it's the same route for Gate A but you don't go that far. you can't usually come from the East side as the Cannards Grave turning is one way only 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll come from Shepton Mallet so best go around to Glastonbury and then back east. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Maybe best to contact them, surely they have directions or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charliehmiller Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Is this place better for getting out on the Monday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it could be easier as it's right on the A361 exit wise, but I'm sure it'll take just as long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 2 minutes ago, Charliehmiller said: Is this place better for getting out on the Monday? id suggest yes .... you wouldn't have extended queues to get back on main road ..... its slightly further walking than some carparks .... but closer than the furthest pink ones .

al_coholic Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 I have parked there twice. Easy in and out, no queues at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdash79 Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Also you won't have a car park sticker so you can go certain routes like a normal person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Isn't Ashcombe on the same side of the road as the festival? They let you turn right, coming from Glastonbury? I'm not saying they don't it's only I would have thought the right turn would mean stopping traffic.. probably applies to the main car parks too though.

PassingCloud Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Which gate do you go to walk back to this car park? A friend has booked a space. I thought she had said gate a, but an old thread seemed to suggest gate d. Anyone know how long a walk from whichever gate it is?

cidy Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Definitely gate D about 10-15 mins walk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
